Episode 238: Your Weakest Connection Might Be Your Strongest Opportunity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Networking. Everybody says they’re good at it. Then you go to a conference, and someone walks up, hands you a business card, says, ‘Hi, I’m in real estate,” and immediately begins explaining the 14 things they sell’. Congratulations. You have just experienced ‘show up and throw up.’ In this episode of Biz-Souls, Rona Lewis and Jeffrey Hansler tackle the strange, wonderful, occasionally horrifying world of professional networking, and ask a question that sounds simple but turns out to be surprisi
Episode 237: Great Culture Slogan, Too Bad It’s Fantasy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You can put ‘People First’ on the wall. You can put, ‘Our people are our greatest asset!’ on the website. You can even give everyone a company mug that says, ‘Teamwork Makes the Dream Work’. Eventually somebody must actually create a culture where people want to work.

In this episode of Biz-Souls, Rona Lewis and Jeffrey Hansler dive into the fascinating, and slightly creepy, world of AI analyzing facial expressions, body language, breathing and those tiny involuntary reactions humans make before they say, ‘I’m not bluffing.’ Now a computer may be letting others know
Episode 234: Congratulations! You're Promoted... Now What? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Congratulations! You're the best employee in the company. Your reward? A brand-new job you're completely unprepared for. What could possibly go wrong? This week on Biz-Souls, Jeffrey Hansler and Rona Lewis tackle one of business's oldest traditions: "You're amazing at your job, so let's immediately stop letting you do it." It's the corporate equivalent of saying, ‘You're a fantastic violinist, congratulations, you're now conducting the entire orchestra.’ Jeffrey explains why companies confuse te
